The Dare (Dylmas)

1.07

Dylan's POV.

He said it back. I didn't even mean to say it. I did, but I didn't want to say it in that time because I didn't want to scare him away or anything. I didn't want him to take it the wrong way. What way do I even mean it in? How do I love him? Do I really love him or is it just good friendship? I don't want Thomas to be the next Will. I do love him. I'm just scared. I don't want to ruin what we have like I did with will.

"You do?" I asked.

"Yes of course I do, Dylan." He told me, smiling at me through the phone.

My heart smiled and my lips did with it. It felt nice to realise that we both had the same mutual care for each other. No matter what he feels for me, friendship or more than. But I don't want a repeat of me and Will, so I know that soon enough we need to have a conversation about what we are.

"What are we Tom?" I asked him.

He looked at me for a moment, his cheeks slowly turned red and he looked back up at me. He remained silent.

"Tommy... If we don't have this talk we never will. Look I know that you've just broke up with your girlfriend but this has gone on for longer than just today. It's been going on for weeks, Tom. We need to talk this out. Now." I told him. I started to worry that the same thing that happened to me and Will would happen again but with Tommy. But Tommy means so much more to me than Will, I do love Tommy. This is so much different than the last situation.

Tommy looked at me again and had an emotionless expression on his face. It was like he just didn't know what to tell me, it made me worry. Like I was Will and Tommy's me.

"Dyl... I don't know what to tell you really. I really do like you. You're a great person. But I'm still trying to figure myself out, I don't know what my sexuality is yet. I do love you though, I really do care for you." He tried to explain.

"I understand Tommy. But you know that if you want to be with me, you don't need to know what your sexuality is. You just need to know your feelings for me and we can go from there. I love you Tommy. I care for you more than you could ever know. It's crazy really, we haven't even met yet but when I speak to you I can feel it."

"Feel what?" He responded.

"That feeling... When you love someone. But you're scared, you don't want to let them go. You have that genuine care for them and you can just feel it in your soul. Like in that moment in time you were supposed to meet, supposed to have contact. And that's how I feel towards you, Tommy. I was supposed to text you that day, you was supposed to unblock me. We are made for each other! We both know it." I told him, letting all of my feelings free.

"You're right Dylan. I do love you, so much. But are you sure this is the right thing for us to do? I've just got out of a relationship." He explained.

"Who cares? It was toxic Tommy! Anyone would understand, especially if you've had feelings for me before today." I explained to him, giving him everything I had inside me.

"Yeah. Fuck what everyone else thinks, I love you." He told me again.

"Tommy... Will you be my boyfriend?" I asked him.

"Of course."

All of a sudden a huge smile plastered my face, I felt like the happiest man in the world. Everything I had ever wanted had finally come true - Thomas was my boyfriend. It was us against the world, everything finally came true. So long of flirting and clear love between us - this tension. I feel so happy right now. He's finally mine. I couldn't even put into words in that moment how happy I felt. I couldn't wait to meet him, hold him. Nothing in my mind could feel better than him being with me.

After a few hours of me and Tommy talking and discussing meeting each other I decided that we should call it a day, it was extremely late for Tommy and it was 11PM for me, so we said our goodnights and even snuck in an I love you. He was so sleepy he couldn't even hang up the phone, so I left the phone on and I drifted off to sleep also. Content with how my life was going. Everything felt like it was starting to fall into place nicely, and soon me and Tommy would be able to be together in person. I'm finally happy again.
